Because of the global trade war? Or because of their implication in aiding Israel in committing genocide? Or both?
Please don't stop there. We need people to witness this and do like the boycotters abroad are doing.
It's about bullying and exploiting other countries with really high tariffs.
It's about our full support of Israel while they commit a genocide.
It's about our failure to uphold the deal we made with Ukraine to get them to agree to nuclear disarmament.
It's about deciding not to honor contracts made during the last administration, saying that they no longer apply, and allowing the people who benefited from USAID abroad (and tons of federal, formerly dependable paychecks at home) to fall off without even an acknowledgement of wrongdoing, while yelling that anybody who isn't hand-over-fist greedy isn't American.

The half of us that knew he was garbage are holding off war as long as possible.
And mexico and venzuela.
Right, yes, of course. Sorry, there's so much bullshit to keep track of, and some of it belongs to other presidents, too.
Edit: Oh, and "Department of War" now too, I guess.
It's not either. Public opinion on those topics have not really shifted.
It's because of US unreliability. Both in an economic and diplomatic sense.
Why would I buy things from a toxic and volatile economy? Why would I stake my future on the unreliability of a republican government?
The only things still holding the illusion of strength together is the AI bubble and the hope that things will be better when Trump dies.
Yes.
